<p>Dear Users,</p>
<p>we would like to remind you that the deadline of the following AiiDA tutorial is approaching! In the tutorial the developers will present how to use the AiiDA code (in combination with a number of quantum codes, including Quantum ESPRESSO) with particular focus also on the new features of the new AiiDA version.</p>
<p>Further information can be found at the tutorial's web-page: <a href="https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/709/overview">https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/709/overview</a></p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<p>PRACE-MaX Tutorial on high-throughput computations: general methods and applications using <a href="mailto:AiiDA@Cineca">AiiDA@Cineca</a></p>
<p>Description:</p>
<p>AiiDA is a flexible and scalable informatics infrastructure to manage, preserve, and disseminate the simulations, data, and workflows of modern-day computational science. The PRACE-MaX tutorial is targeted at about 40 students, postdocs and researchers interested in applying high-throughput computations in their research, and in particular to those interested in learning how to use the AiiDA platform.</p>
<p>The tutorial will be held by members of the AiiDA developers team (Sebastiaan Huber, Leonid Kahle, Giovanni Pizzi, Martin Uhrin and Spyros Zoupanos). Moreover, two scientific talks will be given by Giovanni Pizzi (Discovering two-dimensional materials from high-throughput computational exfoliation of experimentally known compounds) and Leonid Kahle (Fast screening of solid-state lithium-ion conductors) on their research using AiiDA and high-throughput.</p>
<p>Skills: </p>
<p>By the end of the tutorial the students should:</p>
<p> • have an in depth understanding of AiiDA and how it can be used to facilitate and automatise their research</p>
<p> • know how to setup and manage AiiDA</p>
<p> • know how to submit calculations, write and submit workflows</p>
<p> • know how to query their results and manage their high-throughput research</p>
<p> • know how to prepare a data management plan, and disseminate their work in a FAIR-compliant manner</p>
<p>Target Audience:</p>
<p>Researchers in materials science, chemistry and related fields interested in applying high-throughput computations in their research, and in particular to those interested in learning how to use the AiiDA platform.</p>
<p>Poster session:</p>
<p>Participants are typically expected to bring a poster. Please send an email to <a href="mailto:corsi.hpc@cineca.it">corsi.hpc@cineca.it</a> with subject "PATC - AiiDA tutorial - Poster session" indicating the title and a brief abstract (max 1500 characters). </p>
<p>Pre-requisites:</p>
<p> • knowledge of Linux;</p>
<p> • familiarity with the use of a job scheduler (slurm, torque, pbspro, sge, ...);</p>
<p> • knowledge of Python will be valuable (please indicate your level in the registration form);</p>
<p> • knowledge of Quantum ESPRESSO will be valuable.</p>
<p>Grant:</p>
<p>The lunch for the three days will be offered to all the participants and some grants are available. In order to be eligible for a grant, you should not be funded by your institution and you should also work & live outside the Bologna area. The grant will be 300 euros for students working and living outside Italy and 150 euros for students working and living in Italy (outside Bologna area). It will be provided after the end of the tutorial, after a certified attendance to the lectures (minimum 80%) and some proof regarding the place of work or residence.</p>
<p>Further information about how to request the grant, will be provided at the confirmation of the course: about 3 weeks before the starting date.</p>
<p>Selection:</p>
<p>The number of participants is limited to 40 students. Applicants will be selected according to their experience qualification and scientific interest BASED ON WHAT WRITTEN IN THE "Reason for participation" FIELD OF THE REGISTRATION FORM. Please indicate your Python level in the registration form and if you would like to attend a preliminary Python course the days before the tutorial.</p>
<p>Social dinner:</p>
<p>An evening buffet will be offered by the tutorial sponsors to all participants on the second day of the course.</p>
<p>Important dates:</p>
<p>Start of registration: February, 3rd 2018</p>
<p>End of registration: April, 30th 2018</p>
<p>Contact of successful applicants: May, 7th 2018</p>
